By System
The 2016 Land Rover LR4 has 3 recalls, the most serious being a cracked fuel outlet flange on the fuel tank that can leak gasoline near an ignition source and raise the risk of a vehicle fire.
The driver's front airbag is the subject of the remaining two recalls, which describe the same underlying problem from different angles: the airbag canister may be malformed, causing the airbag to either fail to inflate or deploy incorrectly in a crash, leaving the driver without full cushioning protection when it matters most. These recalls affect a narrow window of production and only certain vehicles with 3.0L V6 or 5.0L V8 engines fall under the fuel system recall.
